Abstract
The development of transition metal-based catalytic platforms that promote bioorthogonal reactions inside living cells remains a major challenge in chemical biology. This is particularly true for palladium-based catalysts, which are very powerful in organic synthesis but perform poorly in the cellular environment, mainly due to their rapid deactivation. We now demonstrate that grafting Pd(II) complexes into engineered β-sheets of a model WW domain results in cell-compatible palladominiproteins that effectively catalyze depropargylation reactions inside HeLa cells. The concave shape of the WW domain β-sheet proved particularly suitable for accommodating the metal center and protecting it from rapid deactivation in the cellular environment. A thorough NMR and computational study confirmed the formation of the metal-stapled peptides and allowed us to propose a three-dimensional structure for this novel metalloprotein motif.

Abstract
Methods for producing drugs directly at the cancer site, particularly using bioorthogonal metal catalysts, are being explored to mitigate the side effects of therapy. Albumin-based artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) catalyze reactions in living mice while protecting the catalyst in the hydrophobic pocket. Here, we describe the in situ preparation and application of biocompatible tumor-targeting ArMs using circulating albumin, which is abundant in the bloodstream. The ArM was formed using blood albumin through the intravenous injection of ruthenium conjugated with an albumin-binding ligand; the tumor-targeting unit was conjugated to the ArM using its catalytic activity, and the ArM was transported to the cancer site. The delivered ArM catalyzed a second tagging reaction of the proapoptotic peptide on the cancer surface, successfully suppressing cancer proliferation. This approach, which efficiently leveraged the persisting reactivity twice in vivo, holds promise for future in vivo metal-catalyzed drug synthesis utilizing endogenous albumin.

Abstract
The palladium-mediated uncaging reaction of allene substrates remains a promising yet often overlooked strategy in the realm of bioorthogonal chemistry. This method exhibits high kinetic rates, rivaling those of the widely employed allylic and propargylic protecting groups. In this study, we investigate into the mechanistic aspects of the C-O bond-cleavage deallenylation reaction, examining how chloride levels influence the kinetics when triggered by Pd(ii) complexes. Focusing on the deallenylation of 1,2-allenyl protected 4-methylumbelliferone promoted by Allyl2Pd2Cl2, our findings reveal that reaction rates are higher in environments with lower chloride concentrations, mirroring intracellular conditions, compared to elevated chloride concentrations typical of extracellular conditions. Through kinetic and spectroscopic experiments, combined with DFT calculations, we uncover a detailed mechanism that identifies AllylPd(H2O)2 as the predominant active species. These insights provide the basis for the design of π-allylpalladium catalysts suited for selective uncaging within specific cellular environments, potentially enhancing targeted therapeutic applications.

Performing abiotic synthetic transformations in live cell environments represents a new, promising approach to interrogate and manipulate biology and to uncover new types of biomedical tools. We now found that photocatalytic bond-forming reactions can be added to the toolbox of bioorthogonal synthetic chemistry. Specifically, we demonstrate that exogenous styryl aryl azides can be converted into indoles inside living mammalian cells under photocatalytic conditions.

Abstract
Being an essential multifunctional platform and interface to the extracellular environment, the cell membrane constitutes a valuable target for the modification and manipulation of cells and cellular behavior, as well as for the implementation of artificial, new-to-nature functionality. While bacterial cell surface functionalization via expression and presentation of recombinant proteins has extensively been applied, the corresponding application of functionalizable lipid mimetics has only rarely been reported. Herein, we describe an approach to equip E. coli cells with a lipid-mimicking, readily membrane-integrating imidazolium salt and a corresponding NHC-palladium complex that allows for flexible bacterial membrane surface functionalization and enables E. coli cells to perform cleavage of propargyl ethers present in the surrounding cell medium. We show that this approach can be combined with already established on-surface functionalization, such as bacterial surface display of enzymes, i.e. laccases, leading to a new type of cascade reaction. Overall, we envision the herein presented proof-of-concept studies to lay the foundation for a multifunctional toolbox that allows flexible and broadly applicable functionalization of bacterial membranes.

Abstract
Molecular inorganic catalysts (MICs) tend to have solvent-exposed metal centers that lack substrate specificity and are easily inhibited by biological nucleophiles. Unfortunately, these limitations exclude many MICs from being considered for in vivo applications. To overcome this challenge, a strategy to spatially confine MICs using Lewis acid-driven self-assembly is presented. It was shown that in the presence of external cations (e.g., Li+, Na+, K+, or Cs+) or phosphate buffered saline, diiridium macrocycles spontaneously formed supramolecular iridium-cation species, which were characterized by X-ray crystallography and dynamic light scattering. These nanoassemblies selectively reduced sterically unhindered C[double bond, length as m-dash]O groups via transfer hydrogenation and tolerated up to 1 mM of glutathione. In contrast, when non-coordinating tetraalkylammonium cations were used, the diiridium catalysts were unable to form higher-ordered structures and discriminate between different aldehyde substrates. This work suggests that in situ coordination self-assembly could be a versatile approach to enable or enhance the integration of MICs with biological hosts.

Abstract
Although reactive aldehyde species (RASP) are associated with the pathogenesis of many major diseases, there are currently no clinically approved treatments for RASP overload. Conventional aldehyde detox agents are stoichiometric reactants that get consumed upon reacting with their biological targets, which limits their therapeutic efficiency. To achieve longer-lasting detoxification effects, small-molecule intracellular metal catalysts (SIMCats) were used to protect cells by converting RASP into non-toxic alcohols. It was shown that SIMCats were significantly more effective in lowering cell death from the treatment with 4-hydroxynon-2-enal than aldehyde scavengers over a 72 h period. Studies revealed that SIMCats reduced the aldehyde accumulation in cells exposed to the known RASP inducer arsenic trioxide. This work demonstrates that SIMCats offer unique benefits over stochiometric agents, potentially providing new ways to combat diseases with greater selectivity and efficiency than existing approaches.

Abstract
Nitroreductases (NTRs) constitute an important class of oxidoreductase enzymes that have evolved to metabolize nitro-containing compounds. Their unique characteristics have spurred an array of potential uses in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and bioengineering toward harnessing nitro caging groups and constructing NTR variants for niche applications. Inspired by how they carry out enzymatic reduction via a cascade of hydride transfer reactions, we sought to develop a synthetic small-molecule NTR system based on transfer hydrogenation mediated by transition metal complexes harnessing native cofactors. We report the first water-stable Ru-arene complex capable of selectively and fully reducing nitroaromatics into anilines in a biocompatible buffered aqueous environment using formate as the hydride source. We further demonstrated its application to activate nitro-caged sulfanilamide prodrug in formate-abundant bacteria, specifically pathogenic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This proof of concept paves the way for a new targeted antibacterial chemotherapeutic approach leveraging on redox-active metal complexes for prodrug activation via bioinspired nitroreduction.

Abstract
Palladium (Pd) is a promising metal catalyst for novel bioorthogonal chemistry and prodrug activation. This report describes the first example of palladium responsive liposomes. The key molecule is a new caged phospholipid called Alloc-PE that forms stable liposomes (large unilamellar vesicles, ∼220 nm diameter). Liposome treatment with PdCl2 removes the chemical cage, liberates membrane destabilizing dioleoylphosphoethanolamine (DOPE), and triggers liposome leakage of encapsulated aqueous contents. The results indicate a path towards liposomal drug delivery technologies that exploit transition metal triggered leakage.

Abstract
The development of organometallic catalysis has greatly expanded the synthetic chemist toolbox compared to only exploiting "classical" organic chemistry. Although more widely used in organic solvents, metal-based catalysts have also emerged as efficient tools for developing organic transformations in water, thus paving the way for further development of bio-compatible reactions. However, performing metal-catalysed reactions within living cells or organisms induces additional constraints to the design of reactions and catalysts. In particular, metal complexes must exhibit good efficiency in complex aqueous media at low concentrations, good cell specificity, good cellular uptake and low toxicity. In this review, we focus on the presentation of discrete metal complexes that catalyse or photocatalyse reactions within living cells or living organisms. We describe the different reaction designs that have proved to be successful under these conditions, which involve very few metals (Ir, Pd, Ru, Pt, Cu, Au, and Fe) and range from in cellulo deprotection/decaging/activation of fluorophores, drugs, proteins and DNA to in cellulo synthesis of active molecules, and protein and organelle labelling. We also present developments in bio-compatible photo-activatable catalysts, which represent a very recent emerging area of research and some prospects in the field.
